minor revision - personally, I don't see how a theory of the beginning of the expanding universe is related to belief in cargo from outside the universe, but I left the statement alone.
The belief system began in World War II when American shipments of war goods to forward bases in the Pacific showered the material products of civilization on isolated islanders who had never before seen or heard of such great wealth and technology. When the Allies left, and no more cargo came, "cargo cults" developed to bring more "cargo".

One example of a cargo cult science is the [[Big Bang|Big Bang hypothesis]]. Another is the [[Ancient astronaut theory]] and cults looking for scientific benefits from [[UFO]]s.
